Zone1 Pope Francis Latest Bad Move

I think that Jesus's church is his body of faithful followers, which includes Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, etc., etc., etc.

Nope, just a mythical belief to keep people ignorant.

You talk about religious persecution but your idea of religious persecution and my idea of religious persecution are diametrically opposite

Sure. You think removing rights and welfare from women is not persecution.

Fair enough.

How about the material world can only be made manifest by mind. Rather than mind being a late development in the evolution of space and time, mind has always existed as the matrix or source of the material world. This is a life breeding, intelligence creating universe because the constant presence of mind made it so?

Is that something a serious poster would write?

In no way.

Sure. You think removing rights and welfare from women is not persecution.

Fair enough.

No, I already explained it to you. You are being overly dramatic. You don't know what religious persecution is.

 

[ding]

In no way.

Philosophy is a deep subject. Maybe you aren't equipped to discuss it. Or even recognize it.

 

[ding]

I have yet to meet a militant atheist capable of having philosophical discussions. Probably because by definition atheism is an intellectual dead end.

that is correct - you have never met a militant atheist ...

They're everywhere here. You can't swing a dead cat religion of antiquity without hitting one.

They're easy to spot. You can tell them by their attempts to subordinate Christianity.

Where 'philosophical discussion' equals piling up assertions. Right.

Incorrect. It starts with making observations of the physical world. Which is more than you have done, right?

I'm shocked you include Catholics. A lot of nonCatholics think the RCC is --I don't know--from Satan or something.

What evidence would you accept?

Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.

So that's a yes, you believe the bible contains errors. Amazing.

The New world translation fixed the errors.

 

[ding]

The New world translation fixed the errors.

Was that on God's authority?

Yes it was, men lead by holy spirit.

ahhh... you know this how?

You seem to have missed that stage and went right to a series of unsupported assertions.
